Taking a no-assumed-knowledge approach, the guide provides accessible information on topics including university structures, governance, academic career pathways, research funding, key organisations, and common academic terminology.
Originally developed with at-risk scholars in mind, the resource has broader relevance for anyone seeking to better understand UK academia, including students, researchers new to the UK, professional services staff, policymakers, charities, businesses, and organisations working with universities.
